FAQs for Canon TS9521C Ink Cartridges
What ink cartridges does the Canon TS9521C use?
The Canon PIXMA TS9521C uses five individual cartridges: PGI-280 pigment black plus CLI-281 dye black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Starink high-yield replacements are labeled PGI-280XXL and CLI-281XXL.
Are Starink ink cartridges compatible with the Canon TS9521C?
Yes. The Starink PGI-280XXL and CLI-281XXL cartridges on this page are designed for the Canon PIXMA TS9521C and include smart chips for straightforward installation and printer recognition.
What is the difference between the 5-Pack and 10-Pack for the Canon TS9521C?
Do Starink Canon TS9521C cartridges come with smart chips?
Yes. Smart chips are included, so no chip transfer is required. They are designed to support printer recognition and ink-level monitoring after installation.
Does the Canon TS9521C need Photo Blue ink?
No. The TS9521C is a five-ink printer and does not use CLI-281 Photo Blue. For a complete replacement, choose the 5-Pack or 10-Pack rather than a six-ink set.
Can I use a 6-Pack or 12-Pack in the Canon TS9521C?
Those packs include Photo Blue for six-ink printer models. Because the TS9521C does not use Photo Blue, the 5-Pack or 10-Pack is the complete set made for its five-ink system.
Can I replace only the PGI-280XXL pigment black cartridge?
Yes. If only the text-focused pigment black tank is low, choose the PGI-280XXL Black 2-Pack. You do not need to buy a full color set just to replace pigment black.
Is the 10-Pack two complete TS9521C ink sets?
Yes. The 10-Pack contains two PGI-280XXL pigment black cartridges and two each of CLI-281XXL dye black, cyan, magenta, and yellow—two complete sets for the five-ink TS9521C.
What are the page yields for Starink Canon TS9521C ink?
PGI-280XXL Pigment Black yields up to 600 pages; CLI-281XXL Dye Black up to 6,360 pages; Cyan up to 820 pages; Magenta up to 760 pages; and Yellow up to 824 pages. These are individual cartridge yields and should not be added together as one pack yield.
Can I replace TS9521C cartridges one at a time?
Yes. The TS9521C uses individual ink tanks, so you can replace a depleted color as needed. When several cartridges are low together, a complete 5-ink set is usually the more convenient choice.
